McGregor, who is fighting for the prize of being a two-weight world champion, was taking part in open workouts at the world famous arena yesterday and, of course, he was offered the chance to land a basket at the home of the New York Knicks.

Ireland’s isn’t exactly a hotbed for basketball at the moment, but McGregor-being-McGregor there’s no way he was going to pass up a chance to show off – his skills.

It was a little ropey, but the rock dropped for ‘the Notorious’ one in the end – much to the delight of the assembled media and fans. He’ll be hoping his punches land bit cleaner than his basket on Alvarez’s chin at UFC 205.
